She's a pretty determined lady who loves speed as much as her mother and official owner! @Pat: I’m pretty sure she’ll be racing ahead of us soon!

I bet she'll be trotting along with you and her mother on your trips through the bush very soon. What a lovely filly…looks like a race horse already.

As for her future career, we have yet to see, but racing is definitively a heavy option. Her mother loved it and is the most renowned racing mare in the Zinder region. Sahara is actually faster but a sore loser, so she hasn't made it to the top in the same way. In Niger, racing is more about willpower than strength, and from what I've seen so far, Isolde seems to have her mother's determination and love for speed. That love won't be diminished as Isolde gets to follow her mother and Sahara when Anette & I galloping in the bush! @Fe: Thanks! I can only agree :-D @Lori: I’m flying on Monday, and so yes, I am very anxious to see Isolde for the first time!
